SPELL CHECKER
Spell Checker is an electronic word list that contains 75,000 words and is used to check
the correct spelling of words. This program can work independently or within the Word
Processing activity.
The Spell Checker searches words phonetically. English words can be difficult to spell
because the same sound can sometimes be spelled several different ways. Remember,
Spell Checker never actually spells a word for you but will check your spelling and give
you a list of possible words to choose from.
Type a word you want to check and press Enter to confirm. PRECOMPUTER PRESTIGE
TM
will spend a few seconds checking the dictionary. If the word is spelled correctly,
PRECOMPUTER PRESTIGE
TM
will respond with "Correct!". If the word is not in the
dictionary, it will respond with "Cannot find the word!". You can click the icon to
get suggestions with a list of possible words.
